Mathias Poledna: Crystal Palace. 2007; 58 pages; hardcover; 3 folded plates some col. ill. Mathias Polenda: Crystal Palace marks the first in a new cycle of projects from the collaborative efforts of the Three M Project- the New Museum’s partnership with the Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago and the Hammer Museum, Los Angeles. The making of Polenda’s work involved the artist traveling to the remote Southern Highlands Province of Papua New Guinea, exploring idealized notions of the rain forest and a wealth of ideas about truth and representation from the last century.
